Occurrence Screen
This logo is for a program within the Department of Veterans Affairs that helps prevent surgical errors. The classic example is a small piece of surgical equipment left inside a patient. The idea behind the program is a QA process which focuses on documenting these episodes so that they can be systematically prevented. Since the occurrences are localized on a patient, the logo suggests the deliberate, targeted focus of the system and the surgical team on a single surgical site. The red color embodies medical urgency, while the closure in the shape of the logo suggests that the mistake is never repeated. The closely spaced words in the title embodies how the program is integrated into regular surgical processes.
